Window mastic in Symington, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you will get a clear quote before we start. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. Common call-outs are for damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, across uPVC windows, window sills and timber windows & doors.
In and around a place like Symington, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.

Your questions about window mastic in Symington
I let a flat near Prestwick International Airport station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Symington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
How we quote for window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outside jobs in Symington need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Why act early in Symington
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Symington
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work
- Every job guaranteed for a year

What window mastic looks like in Symington
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Symington is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Rented homes near Prestwick International Airport station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as Symington Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
